Carved Agate Cthulhu

Allie Evers was kind enough to send over this wonderful Cthulhu idol sculpted from a solid block of moss agate.  It was commissioned from Skullis.com, which normally specializes in carved crystal skulls.

 

 

Fallout Consumables

Ammnra Creations brings us this tutorial on creating a variety of consumable items from the Fallout video game series.  The best part is right at the start, where he demonstrates how to use drinking party IV bags to recreate RadAway, blood packs, and irradiated blood.  After that he crafts a stimpak, Jet inhaler, and fusion core.  Spoiler alert: that section basically consists of "I 3D printed the parts and put them together".

That's become an increasing common theme in propmaking.  Don't get me wrong, there's certainly nothing wrong with that approach.  The results are absolutely authentic since they're adapted from the actual game models.  That said, I'm a devotee of the ol' skool "bash found parts together" method of prop creation.  3D printing seems to remove the creativity from that process and turn it into an exercise in kit assembly.  Your mileage may vary, obviously.

 

Ritual Dagger

Spanish artist Creadores a sueldo brings us this creepy ritual dagger.  Made from foam and LARP-safe.

 

 

I, Robot

Beastcraft Props produces characters for professional haunted houses.  They've made some amazing animatronics, but most of their work, understandably, is various flavors of undead and monsters.  Their latest is something different- an interactive robot.  I love the craftsmanship and theming on this.

 

 

Tome of the Dragonborn

Another fantastic bit of tomecraft from Alex Libris.  This time it's a Skyrim-themed journal featuring an embossment of the sigil of the dragonborn, hand tooled leather cover, and custom brass hardware.

 

 

Great Cthulhu

George Tsougkouzidis is one of the most talented Mythos-inspired sculptors around.  His latest is this Cthulhu idol he calls The Great Terror.

The talented Spooky Jack returns to our pages with this be-fanged vampire skull specimen.
